Destin, located in the Florida Panhandle on the Emerald Coast, is known for its sugar-white sands and the stunningly vibrant turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Destin beaches are amazing for swimming, splashing, building sandcastles, and exploring. On land, there’s the Track Recreation Center with bumper cars, mini golf, and a three story track for go kart racing.

Families staying in Destin can also choose to go snorkeling, parasailing, or spot dolphins from a mini cruise excursion out on the water.
